What kind of media institution might distribute your

excellent way of getting feedback because I will know what the audience enjoy

distributing is through social networking sites which include
Myspace, Facebook, Twitter. By sharing the video on social network websites it
will help further publicise my opening sequence.

film companies like Universial studios and paramount pictures, it also
includes independent film companies such as dreamtime films. These film
companies have rights to distribute films straight to cinemas such as Vue and
Cineworld. These film companies also have rights to distribute films onto
DVD, Blue-Ray and Video. These are all ways for film companies to make
profit.

sharing websites which encourage young people to go into the film industry
and is also another way to publicise, which will hopefully lead to their film
being noticed. An example of film sharing site is www.viddler.com.

genre psychological horror is very popular and film companies are always
looking for ways to push the boundaries of film making.
